Chapter 196 ·Threshold
It's natural that Zhan Lan can't understand Chu Xuan's layout.
It's natural that Zhan Lan can't tell whether Chu Xuan is dead or alive.
In fact, what Zhan Lan guessed was only a relatively superficial level. Although correct, it is rather one-sided. At least, she didn't think about who should be sent down if the so-called 'loophole' really worked. And those who go down will encounter strange and even mysterious tests.
After all, this is a gamble - no matter how sure the planner is, it is for the person who needs to go down in person. The need to touch death is an undoubted fact. In addition to this, whether the dead can be resurrected is another completely different matter.
Can't say, it's not because I'm afraid Anubis will plug the loophole.
Especially because once this secret is revealed. And if the Samsaras cannot penetrate the extremely strengthened Scorpion King's defense line head-on. Sacrifices are necessary. However...who will sacrifice? Or...what if the first person to enter the underworld fails? What if the second and third ones also fail one after another, or fail to catch up? How will things develop?
That will lead to the explosion of a large number of uncertain factors, and the future will be led to chaos that even the brightest minds cannot quickly clarify.
And as a true wise man who is 'smarter' than the 'smartest'. Chu Xuan’s decision is——
Go on his own.
Since Li Shuaixi is unwilling to cooperate in the most trouble-free way. Then we have to spend a little effort and thought to arrange a ritual that can be completed by a single person - suicide and murder are two different things, and the reed fields in Egypt cannot be reached by any means. Now, everything is fully configured.
Chu Xuan lay on the ritual drawing in the center of the temple. His eyes swept across the nine statues one by one - although this world is the domain of Anubis, this temple also happens to be a place that Anubis can never touch. Because at this moment, he had already felt the slight activation of the nine blessings in his body, and this naturally represented the recognition or acquiescence of the Nine Pillars God.
In fair competition, cheating is inappropriate.
But if you don't do it yourself, then... pretending not to know may not be a reasonable way to deal with it.
Reach out and sustain the false life. At the same time, the ritual of resurrecting oneself through the power of Osiris is still in operation. The next moment, Chu Xuan gently raised his hand and held down his heartbeat.
Death is just the beginning. It's the beginning of another journey.
But for him, it was actually a real death. Actually, it's no big deal.
He closed his eyes.
He didn't know how long it took before he regained his vision again.
What caught his eye was an endless golden reed field. Huge golden ships sailed above the reed fields, while the golden sun shone in all directions.
The first step is to reach the underworld. Already successful.
Chu Xuan stretched out his hand and touched his heart - the heart part was empty, replaced by a feather.
Eagle feathers.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. An eagle of light appeared without knowing when, hovering under the golden sky. It was flapping its wings and flying slowly in a specific direction.
Horus.
Among the gods of Egypt... or in other words, among the gods of the world, he has the most power.
Although it did not have any communication with Chu Xuan, it had already pointed out the direction of the trip to Chu Xuan.
So……
Chu Xuan tilted his neck and stretched out his hand. Gauss's two guns were already in his palms. He clearly sensed that the suppression given to him by the Lord God had been eliminated with the zone switch. Even though it was a soul rather than a body that was located here, the power of faith that could greatly assist him had reappeared around his figure.
He moved forward, taking steps.
……………………
--I see.
After the second day of offensive and defensive battles, Jiang Yu met Zhao Yingkong. From her, Jiang Yu heard some strange information.
Chu Xuan's matter, the interaction between Chu Xuan and Li Shuaixi. And the riddle content that Chu Xuan said.
Unlike Zhao Yingkong who didn't intend to use his brain at all, or Zhan Lan who used his brain but lacked information. Jiang Yu, who knows the plots of the Scorpion King from one to five, is obviously very aware of the importance of Mr. Momoyous - he is indeed a hero who is noticed by the gods. And his soul is indeed quite precious.
——I guess Chu Xuan is dead now.
Jiang Yu thought... He had a headache, but there was nothing he could do to stop it. Because he had revealed too much information in his communication with Chu Xuan, and among them was a death that Chu Xuan was supposed to arrive at.
In the original world line, Chu Xuan who did not die and Chu Xuan who came back from the dead are completely different concepts.
And now, although he knew that the Chu Xuan he came into contact with had never died before today. But this does not affect Chu Xuan's interest in contact with death - and there is a high probability that this guy will try it.
——Forget it, since it is a prepared move. He probably wouldn't die directly... Well, this is Anubis' domain. Death itself is only the beginning!
Jiang Yu nodded. Regarding Chu Xuan's actions, he always chose to mess up the whole process - he couldn't control Chu Xuan anyway, and he also knew how measured Chu Xuan's actions were.
Chu Xuan will definitely take action - but it doesn't actually matter how much Chu Xuan moves.
Anyway, no matter what Chu Xuan did, Jiang Yu always had one thought.
——No matter what, the Lord God will not design too outrageous problems for us. After all, the world of reincarnation is a reconstruction center, not a multiverse academic research and development center. The main mission set by the Lord God has always been a combination of 'where to go, how to go, and how many to kill' to prevent the reincarnation team who lacks wise men from kicking the door in the wrong direction. So, since the main mission talks about defeating the Scorpion Emperor, as long as we defeat him in an upright and upright manner, all the internal plots can be regarded as non-existent!
right! Just be reckless.
Being reckless just means that you are not strong enough, it means that you are not iterating enough, and you are not ruthless enough in cheating. And Mang himself will definitely be able to finally handle the tasks assigned by the Lord God!
Jiang Yu clenched his fist. He had gained some experience in the fine control of power because of the trauma to his soul. No matter he closed his eyes or opened them, he could now vaguely sense the soul fluctuations in the surrounding area. The fluctuation that is most similar to him and the closest is Xia's fluctuation. The one with the biggest difference and the weakest feeling, but there is no doubt that it is still functioning, is Chu Xuan who is located in the great temple on the other side.
Based on this ability, he came up with some techniques. And this skill just needs a little time to hone.
——He does his thing and I do mine.
Jiang Yu made a decision.
His thinking and analysis, as well as his final decision, did not take much time. Zhao Yingkong, who informed him of the information, is still waiting for his response.
"I probably understand what's going on." Jiang Yu nodded and responded to Zhao Yingkong's doubts without revealing the information. "Death is the domain of Anubis. Chu Xuan is just testing the boundaries of this power - don't worry about him, he will join the battlefield when the time is right. And when the time is right, he will also explain what he has done All planned.”
Explain when the time is right - this sentence means that now is not the time. Being involved in the secret war among the gods is really a tricky thing. And Zhao Yingkong could obviously understand the implications of this sentence.
"I understand." Zhao Yingkong nodded. She had finished speaking, but she hadn't left yet.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Yu's eyes swept over Zhao Yingkong's bone armor. Although the outer armor was a ferocious skeleton, the assassin girl's attractive figure was still graceful.
"Well..." The assassin girl's cheeks were slightly red and she nodded slightly.
A normal man would think of some interesting things at this time. However, in Jiang Yu's mind, she only thought of the main personality of Zhao Yingkong and the two demons of Dongmei, Zhao Zhukong.
And he immediately noticed some changes in the image of the bone harp outer armor.
"Is it... how to use the power of the equipment?" He thought of Zhao Zukong's Cunbu, the light of the soul with space interference effect. And he also remembered the space-disturbing effect of this bone harp.
He thought he probably understood.
"It seems that your mastery of this strange object has deepened. Indeed, the bone harp has the effect of space disruption. If you can still use it in the armored form, then it will be able to effectively deal with hostile targets that are good at space interference... ...Well, I happened to have some insights while studying vibrations. If you don’t mind, can we take some time to discuss it?”
The sub-personality Zhao Yingkong hates Zhao Zhukong very much. Even if this hatred is rootless, it is still an undoubted target for her.
And considering that the Zhongzhou team's slowest World Seven has to collide with the Demon team, it is really necessary for Zhao Yingkong to master some special attack skills.
Jiang Yu indeed thought so.
In front of him, the assassin girl's expression subtly changed between heat and confusion. And in the end... only one word came out.
"Okay." she said.
She said nothing else.
…………………………
Time is still passing.
When the sun rises on the third day. The reincarnators know that what they need to face is a geometric sequence. This battle took a little longer than the second day. The full parameters of the Scorpion King's army were four times that of the first day, which consumed a lot of chips from the reincarnators.
and on the fourth day, eight times as much. In order to defeat this legion, the Samsaras spent a lot of money.
But the reincarnations still won - victoriously, and without any injuries. Facing the Scorpion King's army that was eight times stronger, the Samsaras still had a certain degree of equipment advantage. And every member can clearly judge that the Scorpion King's army in front of them has been alienated to the point that it is no different from the Death Army in the movie.
And when the first ray of sunlight on the fifth day appears at the end of the horizon. The heavily armed Death Army finally appeared on the battlefield.
The final multiple is ten. As Jiang Yu expected, unlimited growth does not exist. The final limit is located at the same place as the Seth monster army.
And this battle may also be the last battle of this return journey.
